Ohio State basketball vs. Oregon: How to watch, stream the game​

It’s a Rose Bowl rematch, only this time on the hardwood. The No. 15 Oregon Ducks are heading to Columbus to take on the Buckeyes. Ohio State is coming off an 89-88 double-overtime win at Minnesota.

Oregon should be a much tougher opponent. The Ducks come into the contest with a 13-2 record. They have a balanced offensive attack but are led by 7-foot senior center, Nate Bittle, who averages 13.4 points per game. Size inside is something the OSU has struggled with all season.

Ohio State is also offering 20 percent off tickets after the football team beat Oregon by 20 points in the Rose Bowl. The offer is online only.

Final Oregon-Ohio State Prediction & Pick
There are a few key factors that will decide this year First is rebounding. Oregon is 215th in the nation in defensive rebound percentage, while Ohio State is better, sitting 169th in the nation. Taking care of the ball is second. Oregon is 120th in opponent steals per game while sitting 80th in turnovers per game. Ohio State is first in opponent steals per game while sitting 78th in turnovers. Finally, with both offensives being solid, creating bad shots on defense will be key. Oregon is 75th in the nation in opponent effective field goal percentage, while Ohio State is 21st. Take the Buckeyes in this one.

Final Oregon-Ohio State Prediction & Pick: Ohio State -1.5

Oregon has generally had an outstanding season thus far; however, that clunker against Illinois was eye-opening. Additionally, they had to go to overtime to beat Portland (the Pilots, not the Blazers) & trailed the entire second half of that game. Hopefully this means OSU has a chance, right? It seems to me that OSU has been following two very different scripts - if the other team is pushing them out past the arc on D & making it hard for the Buckeyes to move the ball, they struggle offensively & if OSU players get to their spots offensively, they can have a lot of success. The team's 3-point shooting has kind of fallen off lately - need to find a way to get those shots to fall again.
